Tasting- Mas de Daumas 2011


Name: Mas de Daumas Frizant Rose 2011
Variety: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Petit Manseng (Sparkling)
Country: France (Sauternes Region
Price: $24.95
Vintage Cellar Review: A genuine Rosé wine - it could almost be a fruit juice - delights the palate with lively fine bubbles, smooth fruity aromas, very fresh thanks to its low alcohol content. Serve Daumas Gassac "Rosé Frizant" well-chilled to quench thirst, indulge the taste-buds and banish gloom. To drink within two years. An ideal apértif, delightful with desserts.

My Review:  I always love sparkling wine, but there is something about Pink bubbly wine that repulses me as a dude. So of course I was expecting it to smell and taste fruity, but it had more dimension than I thought.  The smell was a nice and fruity with a slight dryness too, but was really pleasant. The taste was also the right amount of fruity and sweet blended with a little dryness in the after taste. Perfect romantic bubbly wine for Valentines day tomorrow and especially if you leave on the price tag.
